yep we have one, its ok if you have up to 80m of 8mm, if you have 100m of hose fitted it just falls of the sides when reeling out

I have one and believe me they are not as robust as as a powder coated metal reel.

I was more than a bit dissapointed as I was assembling the thing.  It's currently holding tricoflex 12mm garden hose(and not much 50m approx).

Thay are in a word...garbage

Completely agree. Really poor quality. The handle is very thin plastic and snap very easily. Ours lasted 2 months max and we chucked it out and put it down to a very bad purchase.

This one's solid, apart from the handle coming off occasionally during frantic winding  :)

Not got wheels but they do one with whhels too: -
